For 2014, only the track is being repainted. Goliath, only the supports.

The park won't be buying Thriller after all. Refurbishing the ride to meet today's European standards would cost too much, and important documents are missing. This according to a respected member of onride.de, who spoke to the park's marketing director earlier today:

The park finally unveiled the new-for-2014 ride. It will be a darkride by Riva Digital, using Simworx' Immersive Tunnel: http://www.simworx.co.uk/immersive-tunnel/ Guests are seated inside a large vehicle that is surrounded by a single, giant movie screen. Similar to King Kong 360 at Universal Studios Hollywood. No ride name yet, no opening date either. Likely sometime in the summer. PR in German:

Watch a presentation on Ratatouille by Tom Fitzgerald, one of the presidents of Imagineering: (he introduces himself in French, but the actual presentation is in English!) And some new artwork:

Pretty sure this will be a Zamperla. One of these:

Looks like a clone of the one at Schwaben Park, which is a Rollerskater on steroids. http://rcdb.com/8642.htm#p=0

Official TV commercial: German: French:

Pretty sure that was an elephant at the Wiener Circus. Or maybe Harry Malter. Bellewaerde's current elephants: - Fahim, born in 2005 in the Zürich Zoo (Switzerland) - Tunga, born in 2005 in the Chester Zoo (UK) Both non-smokers.

Splash Battle queue under construction:

New for 2014: Amur leopards. (this park is part zoo) Also... a new logo: Some older ones: (2000s) (90s) (80s) (70s)

Superman / Xpress getting a darkride segment at the end? "Platfom 13 under construction..." (official caption) And when asked if this will be a new station, the park replied with "Not quite." source: Walibi management

That's a fan-made version. Here's the original:

Track has started to arrive as well... And a better shot of the support color: source: Premier Rides Assembly will start at the end of the month.

The name has been confirmed to be "Flug der Dämonen". That's German for "Flight of the Demons". source: Heide-Park / www.heide-park.de
